Once again, fraud is met with a fine rather than a jail sentence.

What is the deterrent for bankers not to commit fraud?

If the GRG type allegations are true then there must be jail time.

The other day Tory MPs were saying banker bashing must end. It hasn't even started. They are laughing at us. Mass prosecutions, serious jail sentences, proper regulations, pay restraint for failed companies, banks being broken up properly or some sort of managed failures would be a proper bashing.

What would happen if you or I committed fraud?  I reckon a custodial sentence would be inevitable.

What about the horsemeat scandal ... Tescos etc

MPs said it was criminal and there would be charges.

Heard nothing since.

Double standards are everywhere. A couple face jail for a 6 grand Tesco voucher fraud. How many at Tesco and their accountants will face jail after the FCA has looked into a 'profit overstatement' of £263m? It's certain that somebody somewhere made more than 6 grand out of that.

Who do you guys think lost money as a result of the rigging?
Report john92 • May 21, 2015 2:54 PM BST
Mainly other financial institutions that weren't in on it, who took the other side of **** bets. The general public would have been screwed somewhere to a lesser degree through pension funds etc

US pension funds started proceedings last year. Plenty of private settlements have taken place.
